The Week of Love

The trails of seven days of love.....from a moron

Monday
You smiled at me when we met, you asked me for money, I thought that was strange but that is the only way for me to get coffee.

Tuesday
We ran into each other again, hey, is that the same shirt from yesterday. We have a small giggle and you ask to barrow $2.93. Sure why not, coffee in exchange for the loan is fare.

Wednesday
You were not there, and another person insisted on a loan of $2.93, except this person seemed to also insist on a tip, than he grew slightly angry as I explained i did not know him well enough to offer advice.

Thursday
Stayed home, I feel like we are growing apart

Friday
You waved hello to me as I entered, we spoke little, the tension was thick. But I am still not sure if that was the best time to barrow money again? But we can make our love work.

Saturday
We pretend and try but it feels like all the love has gone out of this relationship. And I didnt want to mention you have been wearing the same shirt for a week now. Of course you can have $2.93, as long as I have my coffee.

Sunday
You never intended to pay me back, you have been using me for my money this whole time. And you say its just business, I suppose the secret love notes on the cups are meaningless.





The Following Monday
Its true love this time, she calls herself a doctor, but she has touched me in ways no woman has.

I enjoyed reading this piece. It's very simple and down-to-earth. A nice pace of change from most love poems in general, which are rather torrid and passionate.

Now this is sweet.. A phenomenal write. I love the story and each day holds time still. Each day feels like a month or months or years.. And when then next Monday came around I had to laugh...so true so true..xo

I really like the journal- or report-style of this, and the story.
Moron or madman, come Sunday and I almost feel sorry for the poor guy. Though I am not sure whether it is because he is obviously decieving himself or because he is truly lovesick.
But seems like he is getting over it fast enough. Maybe to be heartbroken again?
Great write, I really enjoyed reading!

Excellent writing here! I am unsure who it is being displayed here, but whether a schizophrenic, or a lonely man seeking messages in action, you have captured a very deep feeling.

Love the set up of this poem. Sad how love can just slip away!

This is unsettling and saddening....love is so often rooted with problems and unless we address them....BAM! Gone! Beautifully emotional love! xx

Love the dark edge...the delusional obsessions...the possibility of an even more dangerous obsession emerging. A delightful foray into the secret mind of madness!
